love dance

May  be  love  is  sweet  neurotonic  or  neurotoxin
But  surely,  hate  is  deadly  haemotoxin

deep  Love -
she   is  a  classical  dancer 
from  elite  family;
he  is  a  peasant  folk  dancer.
in  forced  separation  and  longing, 
she  comes  to  the  stage 
from the  dressing  room
reciting  aandal  songs
to  dance  competitively, 
leaving  behind -
an  empty  bottle  of  poison
and  the  last  farewell  letter.

SHE:

is  it  not,
 month  of  margazhi ?
 full  moon  day ?
 time  for  him  to  come ? 
oh  my  life !   
hold  till  i  see  his  face  once !
come  my  love,  quickly  come !
life  is  only  a  mere  dream. 

heart..  my heart..  is  burning,
dripping  tears  quench  it.
  water  held  in  my  palm  is  draining,  
my  life  is  also  slowly  dissolving. 
whether  we  will  meet  once ?
or  will  you  only  see  my  dead  body ?
whether  in  the  fire  of  the  art  of  dance
burning  the  love  is  correct ?
  please  answer,  my love !
HE:

aandal  garlanded  the  lord  
only  after  wearing  it  herself  
and  seeing  her  beauty.
oh  divine  light !
forget  your  sorrow.
your  garland  will  come  tomorrow,
let  your  faith  grow

our  love  is  the  light  
and  our  dance  is  also  the  light 
oh  daughter  of  Goddess  of  art !
how  can  one  light   burn  the  other  light ?

the effect of poison -
she  collapses  on  stage  on  his  lap
embracing  him  tight,
in  front  of  the  statue  of  the  Lord,
gasping  for breath
but  winking  her  smiling  eyes
with  tears  of  joy.
life  or  death ?
but  union  of  souls.
living  for  ever
singing  and  dancing
the  journey  to  proceed
never  ending.

yes,
now  destined  to  save  her 
and  live  with  such  mad  girl !
